Ishtar

Ishtar was the Akkadian goddess of fertility, carnal love, war, and strife; in Babylonian mythology, she was the equivalent of the Hellenic Aphrodite (Roman "Venus"), while she was known as Inanna in Sumer. She was the daughter of El and the wife of Baal, but she was known to have many lovers, being nicknamed "the Courtesan of the Gods". Uruk became known as "the city of sacred courtesans" due to the high profile of her cult.
